You're unlikely going to hit 144 FPS at 1080P with a single GTX 980 except for select games, or by turning some graphics settings down.

1440P at 60Hz is a very nice experience. The only thing that trumps it is playing first-person shooters at 1440P at 120Hz or higher.

If you're an avid FPS gamer, then I'd go for the 144Hz monitor, even if you're not going to hit 144 FPS, as long as you're getting 96 FPS (with toned down settings), you're going to notice a good amount of difference.

+1 for 1440p. That site has the ASUS ROG PG278Q, just about the best 1440p monitor, but expensive. I don't personally know the benq and asus monitor options listed but there seems to be some good choices. And my gtx970 gets great fps at 1440p.
